a Modern Fable.

The Mason and Dixon line of old was
a boundary over which no one was SUP
posed to pass that was On thieying
expedition.
The Mason and Dixon line now in
existence has sprung from the animal
virus of the porcupine or Bunion
Appolions, who threw darts at the
Christians. The thing is being exhlb

Honduras, and is now exhibiting at

Around the place may be found tue
rhinoceros. goriIlas, and the gentle
doxe. supposed to be species of flint,
which was imported for the Use OF
strangers and men of moral prJcliVities.
After leaving the city of Pekin the show
moved towards the North Pole, with
the hope of finding a northwest pas
sage through which they could reach
place called Utah, which they intended
to take in as a compensation Tor the
many trials experienced on the voyage
of political corruption. The wind
being adverse totheir expectation they
started for a place called Park City,
lying near the mountains of tie moon.
As the company reached the mountain
called Constitution mountain, they
called halt, and by the wisdom of the
chief clown they made paste by which
they tried to cement The morning
and evening flow of sour mush

Like a Demi-GOd.

In May last Memphis reporter, who
was swinging around the southern cir
cult in search of a newspaper that could
not exist without his services, CHANGED
to visit Atlanta, and called upon Mr..
Grady.
Il entered a luxuriously appointed
ante-room and confronted a handsome
young man wearing priceless diamond
pin and delicate bang.
"'Wait here until seek the presence }
he said solemnly, and disappeared
through an inner door.
"By this time nerve was as scarce
about my person as the price of board.
Presently the handsome young man
returned and said, he will see YOU"

in Mr.. Grady's audience chamber. 1t
was furnished with Oriental splendor.
There were four men in the room-the

FORCE OF HABIT.
The Fortunately of Travellers in
Their attachments

a sober, solid and rather severe look
ing gentleman wrote his name on the
register last night, and then said snap
pingly to the clerk: "Can 1 have No.
1872"
The clerk turned the keyboard and
said in honeyed accents, as hotel cl=rk
ways will when his nature is unruf-
fled: I'm afraid some one has that
room; l didn't know you were coming,
sir"
The incarnation of soberness and
solidity snutfed, threw up his eyes and
murmured something which might
have referred to the subject OF eternal
punishment. The clerk rested his
fingers on the marble desk and said
blandly: II can give you much better
room on the same floor. The price is
the same, and L assure you you'll find
No. 1874 much lighter and airier room
than 1877
The guest ungraciously granted and
allowed the bell boy to carry his valise
to the room which he was forced to
take IN place OF No. 1877. He asked also
to be changed to No. 718 if possible in
the morning. When he'd gone the clerk
said:
Guests get strangely attached to their
rooms. That gen tleman has been COM
ing to this housefor two or three years,
and he has always asked for and
usually got the room he slept in the
first time he visited US. Often enough,
as in this case, the room really has no
particular advantages, but to a travel
ing man it takes on sort of the home
associations he is forced by his avoca-
ton to forego, and he gradually comes
to regard it as a home.
Nearly every commercial man who
goes round given circle of towns for
any length of time, has in each stop
ping place, not only afavorite hotel, but
a fayorite room in that hotel. We try,
to the best OF our ability, to give them
their favorite rooms. Now and then we
can not, but if we know of his coming
beforehand, the room is always kept
vacant for the homeless man. Perhaps
they go further and choose other spots,
theatres and individuals in each town
for their particular attention. Very
likely they do, but only know particu-
larry OF their habits in the hotel ITSELF"

Australian eggs are preserved in the
following simple manner; The vessels in
which the eggs are to be placed are glass
jars with patent shoppers, vulcanized In
dia rubber joints making them perfectly
air tight. AS soon as the eggs have been
collected the jars are placed in hot water
for some time, and left until the air in
them has become thoroughly warm and
raretied. The jars having been heated,
the eggs are wrapped up in paper to pre-
vent them knocking together, and placed
in warm receptacle, their pointed ends
being uppermost. The jars are immedi-
ately closed up, and then, and not until
then, are removed from the hot water.
The great secret of success in carrying
out the method described is no doubt to
thoroughly heat the air in the jars. The
eggs will stand better chance of keeping
if the paper in which they are packed is
previously baked and used warm. Patent
stoppered jars are not absolutely neces-
sary, any stopper answering which effect
ually excludes the air.
AT the late Birmingham England show
prizes were offered for the best dozen of
preserved eggs, and these were given as
was the case the year previous, to those
preserved in simple lime and water, or
packed in dry salt. Samples were shown
covered with melted suet, beeswaX, oil or
lard, and all these were good But
strange to say, one exhibit which had been
rubbed over with pure vaseline as soon as
laid was the worst of all. All the eggs
were putrid

Langstroth on Zee Keeping.

The following principles says Lang
stroth, the eminent bee cuturist, undcrlie
and govern profitable bee keeping and
honey producing:
1. Bees gorged with honey never volun-
tecr an attack.
2. Bees may always be made peaceable
by inducing them to accept of liquid
sweets.
3. Bees, when frightened by smoke or
by drumming on their hives, fill them
selves with honey and lose all disposition
to sting, especially if the motion jars their
combs.
4. In districts where forage is abundant
only for n short period the largest yield
of honey will be secured by a very mod
crate increase of managing bees.
5. Queenless colonies unless supplied
with u queen, will inevitably dwindle
away or be destroyed by the bee moth or
by robber bees
6. The formation of new colonies should
ordinarily be confined to the season when
bees are accumulating honey; and if this
or any other operation must be performed
when forage is scarce the greatest pre-
caution should be used to prevent rob-
bling.
7. The essence Of all profitable bee keep
ing is contained in this golden rule, keep
your stock strong" If you cannot sue
coed in doing this the more money You in
vest in bees the heavier will be your ssCS;
while if your stock are strong yea will
show that you are a bee master ;:' N-yll as

One figure in the cut shows seat
which can be readily made at the side of a
tree, and may be let into or fastened to
the trunk. The framework may be of
any kind Of crooked growing wood. To
retain the bark, which is necessary for its
best rustic appearance, it must be cut
while the tree is in dormant state.
Soak it well in with one or more coats of
petroleum, and it will thus be rendered as
durable as cedar.

may be placed wherever it chances to be

POLE FEED IH1N.

Whenever food is thrown out to the
young chicks, the old hens rush and pick
it up, crowding or driving the little ones
away. In such feeding, pen which the
chickens can enter, but which will not
admit the old hens, is, if not quite necess-
ity, a great convenience and help. The
Rural New Yorker tells how such pens
can be readily made.
The one shown in the first out furnishes
the model for pole pen and is made by
laying poles up, log house fashion. The
spaces between the poles are just large
enough to let the chicken run out and in.
Boards are placed over the top and held in
place by stones or blocks.

The Quality of Wool.

One of the difficulties in growing wool
in far southern ATTITUDES is that the quail
ity of the wool deteriorates. Where the
climate is not cold enough to make the
wool necessity for the protection of the
sheep, nature, always considerate, is less
careful to maintain its quality. 1t soon
degenerates into kind of hair and soon
loses its value as wool. For this reason
northern sheep growers will always have
an advantage over those farther south.
